You can make Mischa Barton's ribbon headband by using a ribbon and some feathers.

Get a thick piece of ribbon, at least 3" wide. Fold it in half and tuck in some short feathers. Use a thread that matches the ribbon to lightly stitch the feathers in place. The goal is to use as few stitches as possible so they don't show. I don't recommend using glue for this project because it could make the ribbon appear dark or stiff in places.
